There's HDTV here, which means a multitude of PBS channels. I've become bizarrely fascinated with this whole Gwyneth Paltrow and Mario Batali go to Spain thing.

It's sort of like...RPF where the author has decided (for some unknown reason) that Gwyneth and Mario would totally be BFFs in real life, and so writes a fic where they go on a road trip in Spain, of course. Where Mario constantly touches Gwyneth's food and teases her about her vegetarianism, to which gal-pal Gwyneth happily lets Mario eat her ham and other meat products, and declares that there's no other person she'd rather be in Spain with. Mario would wear his Crocks and Gwyneth would have plentiful scarves, and they'd drive around the countryside in a convertible. And then you'd pat the author on the head and say, "Whatever makes you happy..."

What do you mean this really happened??

1. Since I'm starting to pay attention again, I've noticed there are a handful of people on my flist who've deleted their journals. Are...are they gone forever and ever amen? Do I delete these people? Are they temporary deletions? (Someone needs to explain to me the concept of temporarily deleting your journal.)
   
   
2. Dreamwidth. What's up with that? Is this another InsaneJournal/JournalFen/Vox/many many others that I would get and then never ever use? It is another blog-type site, right? Or is it something else? How much attention should I be paying to this? I followed a link to someone's very large LJ post about it and there were all these words there that required me to read them. And so I didn't. Because I have the attention span of a margarita-ed up gnat that's still also trying to suss out what exactly happened in Last of the Time Lords.
   
   
3. Nap time.
